Work

I am a Researcher in the Adaptive Systems & Interaction group at Microsoft Research . I completed my Ph.D. in the Computer Science Department at CMU under Jaime Carbonell and John Lafferty. When I was at CMU, I used to help organize the Information Retrieval Discussion Series.

Here is a publication listing and a page with abstracts of the papers I have authored/co-authored. My CV is available upon request.

Data Sets & Software

The RADAR Action-Item Dataset is available here.

At the request of several researchers in the field, I put together a small package for Recalibrating Classifiers in 2004-2005. It is provided AS-IS and with NO WARRANTY and is available here.

Life

Play

Here's an indirect link to the Plan II Soccer Page. I was the first coach of the team and coached it for a total of four years. I've now developed a sudden love of ball hockey, after turning a hat trick my first game!! Woo hoo! Unfortunately, those were the only goals my team scored that game. :( After 3 years, we've finally become a force to be reckoned with -- well we can pass the ball at least. So if you want, check out my team.

Distractions

If you're looking for my SCS Espresso Web Page, look no further.

At one time, I was the co-editor of the 9th Edition of the Guide to Living in Pittsburgh.

Here's a page of what were my most useful links; now I rarely update them.
